| 背面描述 | The reverse displays the colonial Coat of Arms of Victoria within a beaded border. The shield, quartered with symbols including a fleece, bull's head, pick and shovel, wheat sheaf, and stars, is supported by a kangaroo to the left and an emu to the right, both standing on a grassy mound. A rising sun radiates above the shield as a crest. A scrolled ribbon beneath the shield bears the motto ADVANCE VICTORIA. The surrounding legend reads VICTORIA 1862 along the upper arc, with the maker's details T. STOKES MAKER 100 COLLINS ST. EAST MELBOURNE arranged along the lower arc. |

Eaglehawk was a satellite goldfield town to Bendigo, and by 1862 it had accumulated enough permanent commercial infrastructure to support tradesman's token issues of this kind. R. Grieve operated as a wholesale and retail grocer — the dual designation matters, since it suggests a business supplying both diggers and the domestic population settling around the field, not merely a small shopfront operation.
The chronic shortage of official British regal copper in the Australian colonies during the 1850s and early 1860s drove merchants to commission private tokens from British die-sinkers, primarily in Birmingham. Andrews #153 places this squarely within that documented colonial token series.
